LURKER AMNESTY DAY!

I'm copying this word-for-word from the most awesome [livejournal.com profile] scribblinlenore and declaring today Lurker Amnesty Day! Read but never comment? Surf by occasionally? Here for the fic? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.

And, you know, if you aren't a lurker but want to say hello and amuse me, that would also make me happy! Amusement is always welcome.

ETA: If you are looking for something awesome in your life, why not try watching The Unusuals. ABC, 10pm, tonight (Wednesday). I offer Exhibits #1 and #2 for your consideration.

ETA#2: As I told [livejournal.com profile] sockich: I am so impressed by how many of you guys are all GENERATION KILL, YEAH! and SOUTHLAND, HOORAY! Seriously it's totally making my day.

Hi! :3

I started reading your LJ entries during the Presidential elections but was sidetracked by your fantastic Ari-centric fanfiction that got me to start watching Entourage. I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning trying not to wake up the whole house by laughing while I read because it cheered me up so much.

Then I noticed all of the Generation Kill entries, and while I had missed the miniseries on HBO, I dug up the episodes and instantly fell in love. This was only reinforced by your fanfiction, the fandom in general, One Bullet Away, and Nate Fick's (fictional and real) awesomeness.

When you mentioned Southland, I decided that since you had already showed me the Promised Land once, it was highly probable that you could do it again, so I started watching the series. I am now terribly addicted and ashamed at my friends for not following the trend (although they are all watching Generation Kill because of me. We might just shout "Get some!" a little too much).

So, here's a lurker de-lurking just to thank you for everything you post. The fanfiction, the fandom, and the politics. I hope it never ends.

Ari does that to people, I totally understand. Boy do I understand. And I'm so glad that you got a chance to watch GK, it is my goal to infect the world with awesome TV habits and weed out the crap. Then again, I only watch three hours of TV a week at this point, so clearly I am losing this battle. Still, GK was the best TV of last year and Southland might be the best for this year (even though the Unusuals might be the most entertaining -- ask me after summer telly).

Anyway, don't be a stranger! You are totally welcome around here :)
